Phonys broadband dud

[Mattus]

I have a computer that I let everyone in Australia use for their work.

When that computer runs slowly, it takes each person about 10 minutes longer to get heir work done.

Just 10 minutes per person.

But that is 3.6 million man hours of productivity per day. Lost by a slow computer.

That is a cost to Austrakia of $75M per day. $24 billion per year.

In this case, it's probably worth buying a faster computer.

Only if that new computer and the 10 min saving were going to be used for something productive...but for most it would be 'hey, I got a spare 10 minutes. Wow solitaire is bitching fast on this new machine"

Is that the Indian bride discussing your manhood with her girlfriend?
I must say she's giving you far more credit than I would have thought possible from you

Porky, I notice that on several occasions you have attempted to distance Abbott from the LNP's NBN, laying it at the feet of Turnbull alone. That is bullshit.

There is Abbott owning it, with glowing endorsement.

It isn't the LNP Arsie how many times have I told you now?

I'm sorry you continue to fail to understand that the Coalition policy Is Turnbull's responsibility and in fact his baby not Abbott's. even though Abbott is the leader of the opposition.
You seem to have forgotten Abbott has publicly admitted he is NOT a Tech head.

I suggest all those really interested read more by googling the quotes.

The Coalition this week launched our plan for Fast Broadband and an Affordable NBN.

Here’s what a few of the experts said about our plan:

The Australian Financial Review editorial today said:

“The cut down version of the NBN released by Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and telecommunications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull effectively provides a cost benefit alternative, although constrained by the fact that many of the financial contracts for the NBN have been locked in place in the meantime.

The Australian editorial:

“Labor has made a fundamental misjudgment about broadband and by stubbornly sticking to its guns, it is committing current and future taxpayers and consumers to unnecessarily high costs. Instead of encouraging private telcos to satisfy market demand (with appropriate government subsidies and incentives for regional areas), it has reversed decades of telecommunications and competition reform by building a massive government monopoly.”

Ian Martin, one of Australia’s top telecommunications analysts, wrote of the Coalition’s plan:

“Perhaps the most important feature of Turnbull's plan is the better matching of resources with likely benefit as people's usage of broadband increases, keeping spending in line with people's willingness to pay.”


Grahame Lynch, the founder of telco industry publication CommsDay and a former group editorial director of America's Network and Telecom Asia wrote:

“The beauty of Malcolm Turnbull's solution is that it pushes fibre out closer to the customer, within hundreds of metres in some cases, helping delivering higher speeds but at a much lower labour and cost requirement because it uses the existing copper in the street.”

The technology writer and broadcaster Stilgherrian wrote:

“There weren’t many surprises in the Coalition’s plan for the national broadband rollout, released today. But now the battle lines are drawn: Labor’s NBN verses Malcolm Turnbull’s cut-price, not-quite-as-fast model. And Turnbull nailed the policy announcement today.”

Kevin Morgan, a respected telecommunications adviser wrote:

“NBN Co is far from being a start-up and the problems that have stymied its progress, such as the need to train and mobilise a construction workforce, were all foreseeable in 2009. NBN Co has failed miserably to plan for them. At the end of last year, NBN Co had as many full-time staff as contract staff in the field, and its contractors still can't find the 8,000 workers they need by mid-year to meet targets. It's within this train wreck that the Coalition has been obliged to frame their policy.

The Coalition’s plan will ensure the National Broadband Network is rolled out faster and cheaper, resulting in lower prices for consumers.

No, I have not forgotten. But, it seems you are ignoring that Abbott has owned and glowingly endorsed the LNP NBN policy.

I can't help it if you are a thickhead Arsie....



I did highlight where the experts agreed with me... I can't help it if we recognise the truth and you refuse to.

You are an NBN expert who is threatened with bankruptcy because your 'tricity bill went up?
